What is Laser Vein Ablation?

Laser vein ablation, also referred to as vascular ablation, varicose vein ablation surgery, and leg vein ablation, is a vascular procedure that is used to treat damaged and diseased veins. It is one of the safest, most effective, and most widely used treatments for varicose veins.

Varicose veins occur when the valves in the veins become faulty and allow blood to pool in the veins or flow in the wrong direction. Under normal circumstances, arteries carry blood from the heart to the legs, and it travels back up to the heart through the veins. One-way valves within the veins prevent the blood from pooling and from flowing in the wrong direction. When the walls of a vein lose elasticity and stretch out, the valve within the vein can weaken. When the valve weakens, blood from the legs can start flowing in the wrong direction and pool within the veins. As the blood pools, the veins varicose; they become enlarged, swollen, and twisted.

Laser vein ablation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat varicose veins. It involves using heat that is generated by a laser to seal off the affected vein. Once the vein is sealed off, blood can no longer circulate through it. Without blood flow, the vein disappears.

What Happens During Laser Vein Ablation?

At Montville MedSpa and Pain Center, all laser vein ablation procedures are completed at our state-of-the-art Middletown, NJ facility. Prior to the procedure, you will be asked to change into a hospital gown. You will then be asked to lie on an examination table. The position that you will be asked to lie in depends on the location of the vein that is being treated.

After applying a numbing agent to the area, our board-certified physician, who will be assisted by highly skilled and certified members of our staff, will conduct an ultrasound to assess the vein. Then, a small incision of about 2-mm will be made in the surface of your skin and a flexible tube (catheter) will be fed through the incision until it is positioned next to the varicose vein. Once in place, a laser fiber will be fed through the catheter so that it’s lying within close proximity to the vein. The doctor will then gently pull on the catheter to remove it, and while doing so, the laser fiber will apply heat to the length of the varicose vein. The laser fiber will then be removed, the incision site will be cleaned, and after discussing post-treatment care, you will be free to return to your home.

What are the Benefits of Laser Vein Ablation?

As mentioned, laser vein ablation is one of the most popular techniques used to treat varicose veins. There are several reasons why it is the preferred varicose vein treatment among health care professionals and patients alike. Some of the most notable benefits include:

• Minimally invasive. Compared to other procedures that are used to treat varicose veins, such as vein ligation and stripping, laser vein ablation is minimally invasive. Anesthesia is not required; simply numbing the treatment site is all that is needed. Additionally, because the incision is so small, stitches aren’t necessary.
• Fast recovery. You can start walking immediately following varicose vein ablation surgery (in fact, you will be asked to get up and start walking right after the treatment). You can also return to your normal routine right after the procedure. Most patients report that they have been able to start performing their normal routines right away.
• Virtually pain-free. Since this treatment is minimally invasive, once the area that will be treated is numbed, the procedure is virtually pain-free. In fact, the majority of people who have had this treatment say that they experienced no pain at all, and those who did experience any discomfort said that it was minor and that it subsided very quickly
• Effective, long-lasting results. Many remedies that are recommended for varicose veins yield minimal results, and the results that they do provide are only temporary. The results that are associated with vascular ablation, on the other hand, are extremely effective and long-lasting. Once the blood supply to a varicose vein is interrupted, the swollen, twisted vein will no longer be visible and will never return.
• It’s safe. Lastly, varicose vein ablation surgery is extremely safe. Compared to other procedures that are used to treat venous disorders, such as vein ligation and stripping, the complications that are associated with vein ligation are far lower.

How Long Does it Take to See Results?

If your varicose veins are causing you pain, laser vein ligation may also provide you with immediate relief, as most of the patients that have undergone vein ligation at our Monmouth County facility said that they experienced almost instant pain relief. Many of our patients have also said that they noticed less swelling in the vein within about a week; however, it can take several weeks or months to see the varicose vein that has been treated disappear completely.

Some information about Middletown, NJ

Middletown Township is a township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township had a total population of 66,522, making it the most-populous municipality in the county and the state’s 16th largest municipality by population, having seen an increase of 195 residents (0.3%) from its population of 66,327 in the 2000 Census, when it was the state’s 17th most-populous municipality, which had in turn declined by 1,856 (−2.7%) from the 68,183 counted in the 1990 Census. Middletown is one of the oldest sites of European settlement in New Jersey.

Small communities of the Lenape Navesink tribe were common throughout the area when the first known European landing in what would become Middletown Township occurred in 1609. Sea captain and explorer Henry Hudson, in search of the mythical Northwest Passage in the service of the Dutch West India Company, anchored along the shores of Sandy Hook Bay in 1609, describing the area ‘a very good land to fall in with and a pleasant land to see.’ While a patroonship was granted by the company in 1651 the land wasn’t officially settled. Today’s Shoal Harbor Museum and Old Spy House includes portions of a house constructed by Thomas Whitlock, one of the area’s first European settlers (and a Reformed Baptist at Middletown) who arrived here as early as 1664, around the time of the English takeover of New Netherland as a prelude of the Second Anglo-Dutch War. Long-standing tradition had Penelope Stout, one of the first settlers, hiding in a tree from hostile Native Americans.

Marlpit Hall was built in 1686 and is an example of New England-influenced saltbox architecture.
Sandy Hook Lighthouse was built in 1764 and is the oldest operating lighthouse in the United States.

Shortly after the Dutch surrender of the New Netherland to the English in 1664 a large tract of land known as the Navesink Patent or Monmouth Tract was granted to Baptist and Quaker settlers from Long Island, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, which soon thereafter became the townships of Middletown and Shrewsbury, and shortly thereafter that into the township of Freehold.

Middletown was settled as a place of refuge for Baptists from Long Island and New England. Pictured is the New Monmouth Baptist Church, established in 1855.

During the American Revolutionary War, Middletown and much of the rest of Eastern Monmouth County was held by the British. After the Battle of Monmouth, the British retreat from Freehold Township carried them down King’s Highway through Middletown to their embarkation points at Sandy Hook in the bay, heading back to New York City.
